</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Harvest Festival is one of my favorite things our neighborhood does. It's a fun way to follow up Halloween and the kids always have fun. This year there was bull riding, rock climbing, pony rides and more. The kids (Jason included) had a blast. I enjoyed snapping pictures of my loves while I soaked in the sun on the cool fall day, it was my kind of weather :-) </div><br />

We set aside an evening to enjoy our first cup of cocoa while we browse through the catalog circling which toys are going to make it to our list for Santa. I love watching the serious thought put in to each choice. This year all but maybe 6 things were circled and the decision to circle seemed just as intense haha. <br />

Ashley and I were out for a walk when she started to tell me how sad she was that she never gets any letters in the mail. Grandparents must have a sense for these sorts of things because when we got home and brought in the mail there was a card for her and one for Colin. It was the annual Halloween card from Great Grandma and Grandpa Brick. The kids were beyond excited. I miss that excitement for mail :-) When they opened up their stickered envelopes they found cute Halloween cards and McDonald's gift certificates. The happiness was overflowing, so much so that it couldn't contain itself and jumps for joy had to be done. <br />

Colin had no idea what was going on but he seemed excited until he got to his classroom door. That's when the death-grip set in and the tears started to fall. I peeled him off and handed him over while watching him scream and arch his back with his arms stretched out towards me. Talk about pulling on a mom's heart, ugh. I never went through this with Ashley but I knew he had to just get over it and that he was with wonderful teachers that would love him to death. It took a few weeks but now he's happy to walk through the little door to his class, friends and teachers. It's been so fun having two kids in class, I now get two art projects to hang on the fridge each week! Here are a few pictures from the first day :-)<br />

When we got home from Ashley's soccer game there was Hauser. He had been home alone for half the day and was the perfect dog that he usually is. So, I told Jason we needed to take him to the Mutt Mingle so he could feel special. When I asked him if he wanted to go to the puppy party his butt started shaking and he was ready to bolt out the door. When we got there we saw our Bulldog friend Bentley that we met on a walk when he was a puppy 8 months ago. Hauser had fun meeting all of the doggies, especially the Great Danes- they were his favorite. The event was literally the dog version of The Taste of Ladera, they had dog treat bars, a lady drawing charicatures of the dogs, games for the dogs to play and win prizes, agility courses and lots of vendors handing out samples and prizes. After we Mingled with the vendors we decided to let Hauser really mingle with the mutts in the dog park. He had a grand old time running around with the dogs and it was fun to watch so many dogs play together so nicely.<br />

It's their favorite time of day, which means it's also my favorite time of day. They splash, giggle and make bubble beards (it's so funny to watch Colin try to lick it off his chin). Ashley is the master bubble hair shaper and Colin is the king of splashing.<br />

Ashley and I had fun getting her ready for her big date and I had a lump in my throat as they drove away. When they came home Ashley gave me a run down of everything they did. They danced, played shuffle board and ping pong, talked with other father's and daughters and had treats. It was so nice to see these two have special time just for them.<br />

Ashley was old enough to attend a few this year. We only ended up being home for one but we had so much fun it didn't matter. They did a mini water park complete with a giant slip-n-slide...soooo fun! She went down water slides, splashed her way through obstacle courses, went on train rides, bedazzled a popsicle stick frame, watched a puppet show and her favorite thing was getting to play on the sunday school playgrounds with water! They provided child care for Colin so I got to spend 3 hours playing with just Ashley, it was the next best thing to Disneyland. After she found her treasure on splash island we picked up Colin and headed to the church cafeteria and had lunch with about 100 other moms and kids- it was loud but fun! I can't wait for next year when she can do every day of VBS.<br />

This summer was unusually cool, it actually ruined all of my hopes for long days at the pool followed by al fresco dinners because it was just too darn cold. We did have about two weeks of heat and every time I tried to get the kids to the pool something came up and by the time we got home it was nap time for Colin. So I decided to buy a tiny blow up pool and some popsicles so Ashley could have some fun in the hot afternoons while brother napped. When Colin woke up he joined in the fun and quickly became a popsicle snob. He doesn't like otter pops, he doesn't like push pops and he doesn't like the regular fruit flavored popsicles. BUT, he LOVES fudgecicles. I'm talking can't get this in my face fast enough kind of love. This boy plowed through his popcicle and then would look at me with this face like, "Hey lady, where's the rest??" When he started to slow down trying to figure out how to get it off the bottom of the stick Ashley kindly offered to help him. By help, I mean eat the last few pieces off the stick while giving him two courtesy licks. When they were all done Colin had half a melted popsicle on the table, a quarter of it on his face and down his arm and Ashley would always be clean and tidy without a drop on the table. Although we only had a few of them, I loved these hot summer days.<br />

How did this happen? How did you go from the itty bitty peanut that curled up on my chest for football games to this ball throwing boy? The time went by way too fast Colin, I want a redo! I can't remember life without you but it just doesn't seem like you have been around for a full year. Even though the calendar is telling me it's true, I don't believe it.<br />
<br />
When I think of this year with you I just think fun and want to smile. You've been a wonderful baby, more work than your big sis, but still wonderful. I've had so much fun watching your personality blossom, you're a funny guy. You know what you want and when you want something you REALLY want it. You love to dance and listen to music, you bob your head and smile from ear to ear. You LOVE doggies, the dog park might be heaven on earth for you. You point non-stop saying "Dog, dog, dog!". You are serious about your food and even more serious about your beverages. When you start chugging away at your milk or water you are in the zone and there is no getting your attention until your thirst is quenched. You love to be chased around the house and playing peek-a-boo. You're a sneaky guy. If the gate to the stairs is open for some reason you will quickly and quietly make your way checking to see if anyone is watching and then bolt up the stairs laughing the whole way. You are a professional cuddle bug and it makes your 6am wake up time so much more enjoyable. You already know how to flirt and sometimes you like to be coy and pretend that you are bashful. You are a boy down to your bones because you think burps are hilarious and I swear you try to push them out so you can make that proud face. You love to be in the water- whether it's the lake, the beach, pool or bath and you always cry when bath time is over.<br />
<br />
I love you with every bit of me and can't believe how lucky I am to have you for my son. I hope you had fun at your Birthday Beach Bash and I look forward to many more birthday lunches at Ruby's with you, sis and daddy.<br />
<br />
We love you Colin Boy, to heaven and back,<br />
Love<br />
Mom-Mom<br />
xoxo<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I just started babysitting our neighbors' daughter this last week. She was born on Colin's due date, so these two kids are fascinated with each other. We had so much fun and it was SO much easier than I expected it to be. That might be due to the fact that my last memory of babysitting consisted of 4 kids under the age of 3.5 while I was 6 months pregnant! We played at home and then braved the ugly weather for a trip to the park to play on the swings. Colin was good to his playmate, he shared, he smiled and he even gave her a love tap on the top of her head :-)</div><br />

She helped Ash pick out her dance clothes and then shooby doobied down to Ruby's. Colin had fun watching the airplanes, Ashley decorated her cardboard Ruby car and mom and I caught up. After lunch the kids got to have baby cones and mom had a birthday sundae. Unfortunately, our waiter complied with my mom's request to not sing to her...booo! I love watching people blush as the whole restaurant stares while waiters sing happy birthday. It was a fun birthday lunch for all of us.<br />
<br />
We hope you had a great birthday and have a wonderful year mom! We love you!<br />

I think the mommies are more excited than the girlies. We went to get Ashley her dance clothes today, I was SOOO excited.<br />
<br />
We tried on all sorts of leotards, some with rhinestones, some with sleeves and some without. The classic Ashley line of the day was delivered in the dressing room when I asked her what her favorite leotards were. She pointed to the short sleeved ones and said, "I like these. I don't like the other ones because I don't want to show my whole body to the world." Please tell me this modesty will stick with her FOREVER!!!! I was so tickled I had to call Jason as soon as we left the store, he was pretty happy :).<br />

When we got home I helped Ashley get all dolled up in her dance clothes and she looked stunning. She was so excited to surprise daddy with her ballerina outfit. I'm not sure of the last time I saw her beaming with this much joy, it was so precious.<br />

We started the morning off with the Ladera Ranch Freedom Run. Jason and I both ran the 5k. I had started training for a 5k in January but there were a lot of things that kept messing up that training so I pretty much went in to this race not knowing if I would be able to make it past the mile mark. I was anxious. We're not talking butterflies in the tummy anxious, I'm talking about sweating bullets, constantly fidgeting and on the verge of throwing up nervous. To add to the nerves, my brother, who was supposed to be my running partner was late. He was going to help me find a good pace and he knows just the right things to say to motivate me. When they started the race and I realized I was on my own I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. I don't remember being that nervous before. My only goal was to finish the race before the walkers started strolling in. I not only did that but I completed it with a 10 minute mile pace, it's not fast, but it was so much better than I thought I would be able to do. In the end, I was glad I ran by myself because I proved to myself that I could do it all on my own. <br />

<br />
When we were done with the race my family came back to my place for homemade waffles, bacon, eggs and berries. As soon as we were done eating we headed back out so Ashley could run her 1k. I didn't know what to expect from her. She likes to do everything at a leisurely pace and to be cautious and careful about everything. I also wasn't sure if she could finish the race. Well, this little lady of mine shocked me! She ran the ENTIRE race with her daddy, uncle, auntie, mommy and Colin. She looked like a major celebrity. She was sandwiched between her security guards- Jason and Ian. She had her Auntie Erin cheering for her as she ran and then there was me. The crazy mom pushing the stroller, while turning backwards to take pictures the whole time. As we approached the finish line I felt a lump in my throat and had to fight back tears. I was so proud of her. There were times when she wanted to give up and walk but she kept going and it made me SO, SO, SO proud. I can't imagine what kind of a mess I'll be at her graduations, wedding, etc.<br />

After our races were done we headed home for showers and some down time because we had a fun crew of moms, dads and kids heading our way. We enjoyed games of ping pong and the kids rode bikes and scooters. We enjoyed a yummy dinner bbq'd by my hubby- thanks Jas, with the Shwams, Moysas, Rogers and parts of both of our families. It was so fun to see our kids excited for the fireworks as we got ready to head over to the park. Once we all settled in to our blankets we enjoyed the most amazing fireworks ever. The sky lit up in millions of colors while we listened to the crackle of certain fireworks and patriotic music. There is something so magical about cuddling on a blanket with your family and friends to watch the sky light up with glittery bursts of color. It makes you feel loved, it makes you feel at peace and it makes you feel happy and grateful to live in this country we call home. I was reminded of all of those soldiers, past and present, that have protected us, fought for us and sacrificed so much for us to live this life and I just hope they all know we appreciate all that they have done and continue to do.<br />

So, instead of another day at the park or playing cars and babies in the house we decided to play in the tub. There were bubbles, toys, and fancy hairdos. Colin splashed for almost an hour while Ashley floated on her back, played with her toys in an imaginary world and oh yeah...asked a million questions, but that's nothing new. Hauser watched them both like the good dog he is and looked like he wanted to jump right in, which is funny because he HATES his baths.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">It was a fun way to mix up our play time but the best part was both kids were squeaky clean and smelled like babies and I got to pretend for just a moment that they were itty bitty again. Ten minutes later I re-organized the linen closet and got a whiff of Dreft (another favorite scent) and realized these kids don't smell like Dreft in their jammies anymore because they're no longer babies. That's when I shed a few tears. Then I walked two feet to Ashley's room and saw this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia2L6p7Nw_NaDJ2yA1DMSaMujSLObO-XeZub3bxJvGJjRf1Mf46QQP_U_J9wTvdpZ5gdfW0Z1DU1sX1A3W-S-9AiMkQqGo7204BKBjznTwP3mOnAKc73MeznB8ubLXwhZyY72ktDHUZYfe/s1600/6.29.2010+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia2L6p7Nw_NaDJ2yA1DMSaMujSLObO-XeZub3bxJvGJjRf1Mf46QQP_U_J9wTvdpZ5gdfW0Z1DU1sX1A3W-S-9AiMkQqGo7204BKBjznTwP3mOnAKc73MeznB8ubLXwhZyY72ktDHUZYfe/s400/6.29.2010+038.JPG" width="267" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vyBNgr9rVeoaZaRb40bI31X2HpqHmHenmo4ak8nGNCfRS6CUQ82z7HeALv2zox0eQa0ZHAyVN-O6tLjuYI00-1rajnuhGczfsnJMouvwMWE8iZSENtO9NcjkMZ54aMsGGnw8x-p3c8Uf/s1600/6.29.2010+041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vyBNgr9rVeoaZaRb40bI31X2HpqHmHenmo4ak8nGNCfRS6CUQ82z7HeALv2zox0eQa0ZHAyVN-O6tLjuYI00-1rajnuhGczfsnJMouvwMWE8iZSENtO9NcjkMZ54aMsGGnw8x-p3c8Uf/s640/6.29.2010+041.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><br />

The love these two have for each other grows by leaps and bounds each day, it is so fun to watch.<br />
<br />
Ashley took Colin for his first car ride, it was so cute. Colin had fun, but was taking it all very seriously and only cracked a few smiles. Sister, was so proud and had so much fun giving Colin a tour of our street as she held him close. Then he ripped off the sticker that looks like a radio and started to eat it, at dinner she shared with us that Colin doing this was the least favorite part of her day, I laughed. I love these sweet faces to pieces.<br />

This girl lights up my life. She brings me so much joy and love and makes me feel like my life has a great purpose. The weekend cuddles in bed while we wake up to a cartoon remind me of how fun it was to be a kid and to be so excited for those Saturday cartoons. My heart skips a beat every time we are out running errands and she stops to say, "Mommy, I just love you so much." I almost cry every time she does it because I know she means it with all of her heart and I just feel so lucky to have her love. She's growing up now, it makes my stomach hurt when I think about it. My baby isn't a baby anymore, she can finish puzzles by herself, recognize words in books, she can spell the names of her family members, she can count to 100 and she can swing all by herself. I'm happy and excited to watch her grow but a part of me wants to hop in a homemade time machine and go back to that cold January morning when we brought her home from the hospital. When Jason filmed me as I held her walking in the house and showed her the bedroom I labored over for months waiting for the day she would come home. I don't know how we got to this place where her body seems almost as long as her twin bed, where we bought her bathing suit in the "big girl" section of Target and where she sings country songs in the car with me and she knows all the words. I'm not sure how time flew by so quickly but it did and I'm just trying to capture every moment and memory as each day passes. And as long as she is living under the same roof as I am I will always sneak in to give her one last kiss at night, cover her up so she's nice and warm and whisper in her ear, "Mommy loves you princess, all the way to heaven and back."The Brickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039174450077108959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583134535218619988.post-77304492353210772252010-06-21T15:47:00.000-07:002010-06-26T17:50:32.627-07:00Father's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSwhtigJNyT5y0bL8gg16MVGnclSPQk_EYbm44_VzDNSagOAIyPgnZGjdcZKhlXxCdeF4HhiUOyrrzyPWy4MqwKGJ5WcD1YNBUbbt-2iR7nCgiQv7Kt2Bve55cx42jK8A4A65fpNF-U-G/s1600/june+2010+195.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSwhtigJNyT5y0bL8gg16MVGnclSPQk_EYbm44_VzDNSagOAIyPgnZGjdcZKhlXxCdeF4HhiUOyrrzyPWy4MqwKGJ5WcD1YNBUbbt-2iR7nCgiQv7Kt2Bve55cx42jK8A4A65fpNF-U-G/s400/june+2010+195.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
4 Generations of Brick Men (they are the oldest Brick boys of their generation) We enjoyed a fun and relaxing Father's Day with both of our dads and families. Probably one of the best we've ever celebrated, it was so special.<br />
<br />
We started the morning off with my Dad, brother and sister at Corky's for breakfast. After fun story telling, walks down memory lane and smiles filled with love being exchanged we went to my dad's house to watch MMA fights and to play pool. It was fun to relax, laugh and just enjoy being together. I'm thankful for my dad. I'm thankful for his love, advice and care. We talk every morning on the phone, sometimes it's about nothing, sometimes it's about everything. He's always there to give advice, to make me smile and laugh if I'm feeling down and I know he loves me. I'm thankful for the relationship and love he shares with my husband and children. I'm thankful for him.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After time with my family we went to the "Brick Gathering" at one of Jason's relatives' house and the kiddos enjoyed time in the pool, the grown ups had fun catching up and the dads had fun watching golf. Babies were passed around, stories were shared and love was present. I'm thankful for my father-in-law and the way he showed Jason how to be an active parent and how to love and give with a big heart. After cupcakes and a final dip in the pool we dried off and headed home where Dad and Ash fell asleep within 2 minutes of sitting on the couch. It was a wonderful day.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What happens when you have too much fun on Father's Day (it was only 7:30) </div>The Brickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039174450077108959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583134535218619988.post-50912215919657037622010-06-20T15:15:00.000-07:002010-06-26T22:15:08.294-07:00A Father's Day GiftEvery Father's Day I always feel a little sad when I hear the jokes about how everyone spends months planning gifts and getaways for mother's day but when Father's Day rolls around people decide any card will do and the dads get stuck with a gift from the pharmacy that you'd find on an infomercial that runs in the wee hours of the morning. Moms have a hard job, but so do the dads. Dads go to work everyday trying their best to stand out, to finish their projects before the big deadline, to land a big client and to bring home a paycheck to provide for their family. When they walk in the house we try to greet them with hugs and kisses, but sometimes it's a quick peck on the cheek as we change a diaper, prepare dinner or bathe our children. After a long day at work a Dad wants to melt in to the couch and turn his brain off but instead he musters up the energy to wrestle with the dog, play Barbies with the girl and tickle the boy until he runs out of laughter. Then he helps clean up the dinner mess, takes out the trash, entertains children while pajamas are laid out and a bottle is made. He is asked about 100 questions while he tries to watch Jeopardy, "why is the screen blue? Why didn't he win that one? Why does he have a mustache? Is that a mustache or a beard?... He answers the questions happily, despite the fact that his brain just wants to slip into a comatose state. After kids are put to bed he tries so hard to keep his eyes open to watch some silly show his wife likes just so they can spend time together. When the show is over he takes the dog out for one last potty trip and does a face plant in bed, only to wake up a few hours later to do it all over again.<br />
<br />
All of the dads I know are amazing, they are hands on, they smother their children with love, they love their wifes dearly and they strive to better the life they give their family. The pressure and stress a daddy carries to provide for a family is quite a load and most of the time these dads do it effortlessly.<br />
<br />
So, for this Father's Day I decided to break a sweat and put a little elbow grease in my gift for Jason, so he could check one more thing off his "To Do" list and maybe have a little extra time to watch a show he loves or to sneak in a surf session. Jason has wanted to paint our garage since the day we moved in, I always thought it was kind of silly because it's a garage, but I guess it's the same as me wanting an organized pantry...it's our space and it's nice to have it feel a little special. Jason was working on a garage floor in Rancho Mirage and I was home with two sick kids, the two sick kids part almost made me back out of this plan a few times, but I couldn't give up because Jason always works so hard for us. About half way through taping off the garage I thought to myself, "this is a horrible idea". I didn't have a ladder, I was working with a three foot step stool that barely got me high enough to reach the ceiling, so my calf muscles were burning by the end of the night. At around midnight I finished cutting in the edges and again was regretting this gift I had thought up, I had no idea how I was going to get it finished.<br />
<br />
The next morning I woke up early and started working away, when Ashley came down crying because she didn't get to paint. I remembered it was Father's Day so she should participate...again, about 10 minutes in to it all, I was regretting my decisions. A 4 year old likes to lay it on thick, so as she painted I followed behind trying to get rid of drip marks and spread the paint out. I also had the great idea to write a message on the wall for Jason, take a picture and then paint over it. For any of you moms that get a "great idea" like this, don't do it! It took 6 coats of paint to cover up the message...bad, bad idea. Luckily, the kids being sick was a blessing because they slept A LOT which meant more time for me to paint. I ended the day with throbbing hands and the beginning of callouses on my hands- lovely! But I could live with all of that because I had finished the painting.<br />
<br />
When I woke up the next morning I thought I would just rip off the tape and put everything back where it went. WRONG! Oh, how the morning light can highlight all of your painting imperfections. So I went for round two with my roller and oh the pain! My poor hands were not ready for day two of painting. Thankfully there was only about an hour of painting to be done and then I started ripping off tape and putting things back. I was so excited and proud of myself. All I had left to do that day was play with the kids and wait for my hubby to get home.<br />
<br />
Jas, got home really late, I say this so he doesn't look bad hehe. When he came home I greeted him in the garage with a BIG smile. At first he assumed I was just very excited to have him home, then the smile made him wonder what was going on. I told him his Father's day present was in the garage, he looked around for a good 60-90 seconds and then FINALLY he noticed and was so excited. I'm glad he noticed, because it was late and I was tired and I think I might have been a little cranky if he didn't notice.<br />
<br />
To the best dad I know...Happy Father's Day babe! <br />

To be honest, we didn't really get to celebrate, we're still waiting to do that. We were on the tale end of being sick, didn't have a sitter and were just pooped. So we're waiting for the perfect day to celebrate, hopefully it comes sooner than later because I need a date night!<br />
<br />
Jas- Thank you for being my husband. I know I can count on you to be there for me, to be a listening ear, a person to bounce ideas off of, a shoulder to cry on, someone to motivate me and a partner in everyday life. You have not only been a wonderful husband to me but you have also been my best friend. You have walked hand in hand with me through the ups and downs of these seven years and it is so comforting to know that I always have you to run to. We have had so much fun since we were married and I can't wait to see what forever has in store for us.<br />
<br />
I think about our first date and I was nervous and excited. I think about the day we moved away for college and I was a little scared...excited, but scared. I think about the night you proposed to me and I was shocked and excited and a little overwhelmed. But when I think about the day I walked down that aisle to become Mrs. Brick I had no insecurities, no nervousness and I wasn't scared at all. I was confident, happy and certain that this would be the best decision I could ever make. I've always known you were the one for me.<br />
<br />
I love you.The Brickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039174450077108959noreply@blogger.com0
